Q: If I never filed an a Notice of Intent to relocate, and I've been gone 10yrs, can I go to jail, or can I file now?
I lived in Ohio when we were married then divorced. Divorced very young 21. We moved out of state with my ex husband's family. After a year they moved back to Ohio but told me I and my child would basically be homeless because we were going to live with them. But they also were living with people until their plans fell thru. So I made the choice to stay put in the home I already had. Over the years dad has known where we've been and has had contact. I moved to Tennessee to be with my family. My ex husband also visited there. My mom had gotten sick, so my whole family moved to AZ. Me included. Now ex husband has remarried and is threatening me with moving. What do I do?
A: You should still file the notice of intent just to be safe. However, it is very likely that your ex has sat on their rights so long that they won't be able to enforce you or your child moving back to Ohio.
